Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I have been using micellar water religiously for a month and have nothing bad to say about it. It took me a while to get my mitts on some but i was not disapointed, firstly the price is fantastic! $12 for 2oo uses (give or take i use a bit much so it lasts me maybe half that) secondly- you use with a cotton pad! boy do i not miss the 1000 facecloths each week i had to wash (slight exaggeration maybe but it sure felt like it)

now down to the real reason why micellar water is the new love of my life

-It has helped my acne better than any other product by far! Because my face is so clean afterwards that my skin breathes and my pores arent blocked and Oh i just love the clean feel I have afterwards

-No residue or need to wash off -Now i have a 12 week old baby and a 3 year old so if you have children you also know that it is hard to keep up a proper cleansing routine with two kidlets to attend to. So in the 5 mins I get to brush my teeth etc before bed i can easily wet my cotton pad with it wipe wipe and done... PHEW painless and so fast

-All my makeup comes off, eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner *ahem eyebrows everything... All with the one product... How wonderful no fussing around with multiples...

I'm not one to use this in amongst other products for my routine because I simply haven't got time and the amazing thing is that this works amazingly on its own. I think It likes being an only child in fact. And my face is happy too...!

Before receiving this for trial I was very unsure of how this would work as the word water makes you think of trying to remove your makeup with just plain old water! I love the packaging – its simple and pretty. Everything looks perfect in pink. But it really does look like the bottle has been filled with just water. The bottle is a very generous size in 400ml. The product itself is amazing at removing makeup! It feels as though you are using water it’s quite refreshing to use, as it doesn’t feel like you are using something horrible on your skin. It has a slight chemical smell but nothing very powerful. It was very gentle, no tingling, no tight, dry or stiff feeling afterwards, just a soft and very clean skin. I do have to use either 3 or 4 cotton pads to remove a normal days face of makeup but I guess when compared to the size of a wipe a cotton pad is very tiny. I have found you do need to be careful about how much the amount you squirt on to your cotton pad, as too much makes it more difficult to remove as your face ends up quite wet. I didn’t have any problems when it got in my eyes I found it quite gentle with no burning. I used this every day since I received and was very impressed at how well it removes makeup but I have noticed that my skin has started to become oily when I wake in the mornings, I haven’t had a breakout because of this but I would understand if this product did cause a breakout from the oiliness. I think it really is a great product for the price and how well it works and I will definitely continue to use this but will limit using it every day as I don’t enjoy having oily skin.

I was ecstatic to have the opportunity to review this product. It has been greatly hyped and I was interested to see if it would provide the same results as bioderma. These product worked beautifully to remove all traces of makeup and left my skin feeling clean but not stripped of all goodness. I'm also prone to an oily nose which made me wonder whether the water would make it even worse and over hydrate my skin. However, I even noticed a slight reduction in my oil production which is an absolute win! I think I might have to keep this nifty product in my regular regime! Because I have sensitive skin I could notice the difference between this gentle product and other cleansers- even the Michael Todd Honey Oat face cleanser. Would genuinely recommend! Especially considering the reasonable price tag!

Here it is, I was super excited about this review and then I tried the Micellar Cleansing Water. Now, I have pretty clear skin other than a few small spots around that time of the month. So it wasn't much fun when my skin broke out majorly after using the Micellar Cleansing Water. Unfortunately, it got worse after day 3 ( I thought my skin may have just been adjusting) which meant I had to stop using the product. My skin has begun to clear up now that I have gone back to my normal regime. I'm quite gutted that this product didn't work out for me.

:(

I've heard plenty of YouTube beauty guru's go on about this product being a lifesaver, and I was very curious to try it. As an ex-make up wipe user, this product has totally converted me. The product does not irritate my skin and feels so refreshing, as well as removing every trace of my make up. While it isn't exactly (In the UK it's only £4, so around $9 NZ) it lasts for ages so it's definitely something I will be re-buying

This is amazing! I would definitely recommend. This did what I thought it was going to do and more! One small amount on one cotton pad wiped my entire face free of makeup. And as a comparison I went over after with a makeup wipe and nothing! Nothing was left on my face. This is well worth the cheap price it is for the amount you use and the wonders this product does! Doesn't leave my face feeling weird or sticky just normal!

Great product , very easily removes dirt & makeup .simple to use and Does what it says . I do however think the hype over the product is exaggerated , it isn't anything new compared to older products . But I would purchase again , it sells for a very affordable price for its generous size.

I have tried a few water cleansers, and this is my fave so far! No residue after using, good for removing make-up, gentle on the skin, good for first timers.

I found this product really light, refreshing and did what it said it would. As I have sensitive eyes I'm careful with what products I use around my eyes but I found this to be really light and suits sensitive skin. It feels exactly like putting water on your eyes

Best Christmas Present Ever. Thank you - you know who you are!

If you've ever been lazy and didn't take off your makeup because it took too long, then your name is probably Melissa - because that's the story of my life. Well, it was anyways.

This is like the holy grail of makeup removers. It's the creme de la creme, the Chanel of the fragrance industry. It's simply the best, better than all the rest....

Ahem, where was I? Oh yes, the bottle is huge, so it's bound to last you forever and a day, but even if it doesn't, the packaging is so sleek and pretty you will want to.

It's cap is a click lid thingy, and it seals tightly so no having to worry about it spilling in your suitcase.

They say it lasts up to 200 uses, but I'd say you'll get about a 100 or 3 months' use out of it.

It's really fast and efficient to remove your makeup with this, and you don't have to wash your face afterwards because it leaves you feeling fresh and hydrated, almost as if it has a moisturiser in too. Can this product get any better?!

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a new makeup remover. And don't fear, they're hitting NZ shores soon so you won't have to buy online.
